Who is leading the change

Family Safety Victoria

The Victorian Government and other relevant parties, in designing the recommended Statewide Family Violence Action Plan and implementing the Royal Commission into Family Violence’s other recommendations:

  • give priority to reducing family violence in rural, regional and remote communities
  • improve access to services by victims and perpetrators of family violence in such communities
  • investigate and fund the use of technological solutions to provide access to service providers - among them those with experience in safety planning and counselling
  • when contracting for and funding services in these communities, recognise:
  • the importance of building the capacity of universal services to deliver family violence services in order to facilitate an effective, locally based response
  • the need for flexibility in contracting and funding arrangements in order to facilitate collaboration between different services and providers
